Moisture Monitoring Applications

The moisture content influences the physical properties of a substance such as weight, density, viscosity, refractive index, electrical conductivity and many more. Chemical, thermogravimetric or loss on drying techniques are used to determine this content.

The Series 8900 provides direct measurement of methane, methanol, and ethanol for the biofuel industry. The Series 8900 GC employs a flame ionization detector (FID). The methane, methanol, and ethanol in the gas sample are physically separated using proprietary GC columns. A dual-column configuration with timed backflush to vent is used to strip off moisture and heavier gases. At sample injection, a fixed volume of sample is carried through the pre-cut column. The backflush is timed so that primarily the MME and...

The Series 8900 BTEX Analyzer with a high-sensitivity PID provides direct low level measurement of Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylene`s in ambient air. This instrument is utilized in ambient air networks around metropolitan areas and fence-line monitoring at industrial sites.

Safely analyze solvent- and non-solvent-based coatings. Your customers rely on your paints and coatings to keep their assets safe from their environments. You can rely on Computrac® to provide accurate, reliable readings in minutes on solids and ash content for your products. Computrac Moisture, Solids and Ash analyzers can be used in ASTM method D7323-06, and can be correlated to other test methods, including D2369, and D5095. Further, Computrac® is the ONLY rapid loss-on-drying analyzer with Nitrogen...

SF6 (sulphur hexafluoride ) or air is used as an insulation gas in circuit breakers . Excess moisture in these gases causes arcing, which can trip the circuit breaker and cut off power to the distribution network. More seriously, such arcing can lead to physical damage of equipment and, on occasion, death of plant operatives (please ask for our case study on circuit breakers).

Hydrogen is used to cool large, stationary generators because of its high heat capacity and low viscosity, and must be kept dry to maintain both of these properties. Ambient moisture is considered a contaminant, which will reduce the heat capacity and increase the viscosity of the cooling hydrogen.

Moisture is continuously monitored in the vacuum evacuation and gas refill of oil-filled transformers. The moisture content of blanketing gases used in the transformers directly affects the dielectric properties of the oil, through water vapour dissolution.

If you work with gypsum, you know how crucial moisture measurement is to making a high-quality product. Computrac® understands; that’s why Computrac has been the de facto industry standard for moisture measurement in gypsum for decades. The Computrac MAX® 4000XL will provide accurate results quickly for free moisture, bound moisture, and gypsum purity. If you need even more information about your gypsum, the Computrac MAX® 5000XL can even determine the residual paper content of recycled...

Robust analysis for inspection, investigation, remediation. If you are responsible for monitoring a wide range of environments for mercury contamination, it’s not enough that your instrument is accurate. It must also be responsive, reliable, and rugged. Jerome has the answer.

The presence of humidity in a blanketing gas for sensitive instruments can cause corrosion problems, rapid changes incalibration and loss of sensitivity. The presence of oil contamination in compressors can cause similar problems.
